The company has a "social conscious" value. They chose to ask me about my political views about the U.S government, and ask me to rate how much I'll be willing to work for companies like McDonald's and Coca-Cola and Apple. I personally found this part of the process to be very fake and pretentious.I feel it's very not "social conscious" to grill people in a job interview about their political beliefs and screen people on that. I think TW should be more respectful for people's right to privacy and not forcing them to disclose their political values in order to get a job as an engineer. They told us they are looking to filter "bad" people in this interview. I felt upset as I found this to be very invasive to my privacy and that they were just looking for someone to play out the "left-wing-liberal" stereotype, and if you're not playing that out, then you're a "bad" person I guess. Just to make it clear how ridiculous it was, I spent 2 years of my live working in a non-profit organisation that had major "social conscious" projects in Africa, I volunteered in sustaining wildlife habitat research, I've volunteered helping youth in several different project, but all those things never came up in the interview and no one bothered to ask if I've done any volunteer work. Only my political views of the government and the big corporate. I can only suggest to the company's management to review the definition of "democracy" and "discrimination based on political beliefs in the workplace".
